Blake Griffin, until he was traded earlier this year, spent his entire career with the Clippers. The trade, at the time, was sort of shocking and set off a debate about whether or not Griffin should have added in a no-trade clause to his contract. But, it seems like he’s not sorry about the break-up — or leaving Los Angeles for Detroit — at all.

“If I wasn’t happy with where I was at or excited to be here, it would take a little bit longer,” Griffin said. “But as soon as I got here to Detroit, the franchise, the way they go about taking care of the players, the way they do everything, is first-class. So, that makes the transition much easier. [Coach] Stan [Van Gundy] and the whole staff has been awesome. I’m not looking back.

“I haven’t put much thought into it, to be honest. I’ve been so focused on making this transition and [adjusting] to this change that I haven’t put that much thought into it. I never want to be in a place where I’m not wanted. Coming here made me realize what a franchise looks like.”

Griffin goes on to talk about being reminded that basketball is a business no matter the verbal promises made — which might have something to do with his apparent shot at the Clippers.
